According to News-Life, the Russian State Duma has passed a bill on its second reading, which establishes new regulations for the production of smokeless tobacco products within Russia.
The law stipulates that manufacturers or importers of smokeless tobacco products must provide a report containing information on their ingredients by March 31 of the following year. The information on product packaging must not include any terms, descriptions, symbols, or other indications that could potentially mislead consumers, giving them a false impression that smokeless tobacco products are less harmful. The use of substances that enhance the attractiveness of smokeless tobacco products, such as nicotine salts, ammonia and ammonia derivatives, ammonia water, acetaldehyde, etc., is not allowed. Additionally, the law specifies that the nicotine content in smokeless tobacco products must not exceed 10 milligrams per unit.
If the bill is ultimately passed, it will take effect on March 1, 2025, unless otherwise specified.
Meanwhile, the Russian State Duma is currently considering another cross-party bill that would completely ban the retail sale of nicotine and non-nicotine e-cigarettes in Russia. The explanatory memorandum of the bill provides data indicating that the number of Russian minors using e-cigarettes has increased tenfold from 2011 to early 2023.
